PANTANAL
ECOEXPLORER invites you to explore the natural
wonders of the North Pantanal wetlands and marvel at the
astonishing variety of wildlife by joining our Wildlife
Safaris & Nature Tours, all tailored to those seeking
a more active and respectful adventure in the outdoors.
We run a variety of lodge-based nature tours, using a
selection of farms that provide comfortable accommodations
from which to discover the unique flora and fauna of the
Pantanal. Ecotours include bird watching, photo safaris,
horseback riding, night excursions, canoe trips, game
drives, biking trips, and walking & trekking tours,
led by multilingual local guides with extensive knowledge
of local flora and fauna. The average group size ranges
from two to ten people. This allows for more personalized
service and increased trip flexibility. We make every
effort during our tours to abide by a responsible code
of ecotourism to minimize any detrimental impact on the
environment and local culture.
Daily departures all year round from Cuiabá,
